Intro
C# D#m F# G# G# x2
[Verse 1]
C# D#m
And row me in felt, and row in fat
F# G#
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
C# D#m
Row me into the snow, and sing to me of your choir
F# G#
Sing to me the key to your aeroplane's fire
C# D#m
Well, I once was a Nazi, but every man has his fill
F# G#
In the light of the concrete station your doctors eat pills
F# G# C#
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
F# C# A#m
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]
G#
This is a song for a wild cat
[Verse 2]
C# D#m
And row me in felt, and row in fat
F# G#
And row me, oh, into the banks of my sweet Burmese laugh
C# D#m
G# man shot in the hand from indiscreet fire
F# G#
Fire burns the bones, and I emerge under a tire
C# D#m
Oh, find me a wolf, and capture me a dog
F# G#
And you float me to the New York on the back of a log
C# D#m
Well my notebooks were blue as your peacocks were blue
F# G#
Walk with me in the mazes to the old Berlin Zoo
F# G# C#
And some men do nations, and some men will lie
F# C# A#m
And some men are nations, and nations shall lie
[Chorus]

This is a song for a wild cat
[Bridge]
A#m D#m
And your face in the sun, digging a road yet undone
F F#
Well palm sweats and jobs help you to be alone in the do
A#m D#m F
And your face in the morning, unfurled as a sailor's last warning
F# A#m
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are lookin for you!"
A#m D#m F
And the night is forlorn, and a sail, oh, is born in clues
F# A#m
"Get out of this port, for the neighbor's are there for you!"
[Chorus]
G# G# A#m
This is a song for a wild cat
G# G# A#m
This is a song for a wild cat
G# G# A#m
This is a song for a wild cat
G# G# A#m
This is a song for a wild cat
